Removalists, Auburn and around

The sweetness of home, moved carefully.

Everyone in Auburn has already made the biggest move of their life. The local one is the small leg, but the freight is just as irreplaceable, so we treat it that way.

Real hourly rates, no invented numbers. Cottage halls or station towers, we know both.

Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain. Oliver Goldsmith, The Deserted Village, 1770

The suburb takes its name from a poem about leaving a place you love. Auburn is one of Sydney's most culturally diverse suburbs, home to countless people who carried a home across an ocean to get here. We think that is exactly the right feeling to bring to a move, even a short one.

Auburn is really two moves

The cottage and the tower

Nearly half the homes here are units, and the older streets are full of Federation cottages. Those are two completely different jobs. We plan for the one you actually have.

Narrow halls, no driveway, careful hands

Berala, Regents Park and the older parts of Auburn: brick and fibro cottages with a tiled verandah, a tight front door and a hall that turns. Often heirloom furniture, often the only version of it there is.

  • Doorways and turns measured before the day, not discovered on it
  • Wall and floor protection through the pinch points
  • A truck parked kindly on a narrow street

Lift bookings, loading docks, dates

The unit blocks around the Auburn, Lidcombe and Olympic Park stations, and the new towers still being finished. Here the building has rules, and missing a booked lift slot costs you a day.

  • We help you fill in the building's lift-booking form
  • Blankets on the lift, trolleys on the docks, protection on shared floors
  • Move-in and move-out timed to the strata window

Our signature tool

The Threshold Check

The question everyone actually worries about is not "will they turn up", it is "will my stuff fit through the door".

Pick your home, tap the big pieces you are moving, and we will show you how each one goes through the real pinch point, the cottage doorway or the lift, and flag what needs a turn, a strap, or its legs off. It ends with the honest crew size for your move and a callback, not a made-up total.

These are our real rates. There is no other figure, no "from" price and no fixed sight-unseen total. We give you a sensible time estimate once we understand your access. More on how the hours work.

Care is the whole product

Blankets, straps and protection as standard, on the heirloom and the flat-pack alike.

Plain dealing on price

Hourly rates, stated up front. We would rather under-promise and finish early.

We know these buildings

The cottage streets and the station towers, lift bookings and narrow halls both.
